Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 554 Hongyun has been spoiled rotten!
The wind was calm and the waves were still.

As Hongtian Daoist finished speaking, the entire world seemed to fall into silence, and then, layer upon layer of illusions arose from nothingness.

Inside Lonely Heart Island, Lü Yang smiled broadly.

The next second, the interwoven dark gold iridescence condensed above his head, transforming into a divine aura—the first divine power corresponding to [Heavenly Fire].
'[Di Siming]! '

This divine power manifested as an imperial crown with twelve tassels and shimmering pearls and jade, making Lü Yang appear extremely solemn, like a monarch ruling the world.

However, on the other side, Hongtian Daoist also manifested this divine power. With his crown and tassels above, the rising light surrounded the two of them, and soon the scene of pavilions, towers, palaces and red steps appeared. Even the sea below began to boil, and white steam rose into the sky.

'【Guiyuan Palace】.'

Two supernatural powers emerged one after another, eroding and conquering each other, going through cycles of birth and death, until finally they vanished one after another, dissipating into two faint, primordial lights.

'Heaven and Earth unite!'

In the dim light, one can vaguely see two towering ancient trees standing tall, warding off disasters and bringing good fortune, with endless karma flowing through them in the blink of an eye.

'【Panlong Root】!'

All these images intertwined, directly enveloping the sea area surrounding Lonely Heart Island.

Only after a long time did these images collapse, revealing the two figures again, but Lonely Heart Island and the sea beneath their feet were nowhere to be seen.

"Boom!"

Beneath their feet, all things had vanished, leaving only a bottomless, enormous void left by the evaporation of seawater. Seawater from further away continued to surge into this void, creating towering waves that roared loudly.

"This humble Taoist is Hongtian."

The Taoist cupped his hands in greeting and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, you also cultivate [Heavenly Fire], just like me. It is truly delightful."

After saying that, he asked again, "May I ask your name, fellow traveler?"

"My name is Lü Yang."

Lü Yang simply used his real name. Anyway, this name had no real significance, and even people who knew him would just assume that he made it up on the spot.

He was more concerned about something else than this:

'This Hongtian actually cultivates the [Heavenly Fire] divine power, not the [Covering Lamp Fire]!'

It should be noted that Hongtian and Hongyun were both True Lords of the [Covering Lamp Fire] lineage. Even if they were reincarnated, their past supernatural powers should not have changed.

Why did Hongtian's supernatural powers change?
How does his experience differ from Hongyun's?
'Furthermore, he actually directly stated that the outside world knew he was in a "fake history"? Who told him this?'

【Angxiao】?
Lu Yang was surprised and suspicious, but his face remained expressionless. Instead, he pretended to be stupid and asked, "What outside world? What do you mean by that, Fellow Daoist Hongtian?"

Hong Tian laughed even more heartily upon hearing this:

"I see. It seems that in the outside world, you are a True Person of my Demonic Sect."

Lu Yang: “.”

Hongtian shook his head and said frankly, "Fellow Daoist, there's no need to overthink it. The so-called outside world is just a speculation I've made based on my experiences over the years."

“Back when I was still the [Covering Lamp Fire] True Lord, I was killed by a mysterious True Lord who suddenly appeared. Before I died, I uncovered the protective smoke and saw his true face. I found that he was exactly the same as [Lingxiao] of our sect, but the fruit he had attained, his cultivation level, and his Dao practice were completely different.”

"More importantly, he was certified as a [Great Forest Tree]."

"As far as I know, from ancient times to the present, no one has been able to attain the supreme fruition. At that time, I wondered, where exactly did this [Great Forest Tree] True Lord come from?"

Hongtian was in high spirits and spoke eloquently.

As Lü Yang listened, he sighed inwardly: I knew it was all Ang Xiao's fault, that inherently evil old thief of the Holy Sect!

"My final conclusion is that it's the outside world." "There are people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens. There is clearly another world beyond this one, and that mysterious True Monarch and fellow Daoist from the past must have come from there!"

"Because that mysterious True Monarch attained the [Great Forest Wood], which is the supreme fruit, and so far I have only found him as the only person from the outside world, so I guess that perhaps only by attaining the supreme fruit can one come into contact with the outside world, which is why I decided to change my path and want to ask for [Heavenly Fire]."

At this point, Hong Tian's voice abruptly stopped.

The next second, he looked at Lü Yang and then chuckled, "Fellow Daoist, do you know how people reacted when I said these things before?"

Lu Yang: “.”

'A miscalculation!'

He deliberately said so much, and even subtly revealed information about [Angxiao], actually trying to trick him!
As expected, Hongtian's voice continued: "Either they are impatient or they are perfunctory. None of them have such a stable emotional fluctuation as you, Fellow Daoist."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hongtian stared straight at Lü Yang:

"Before, I just felt that the causal energy on your body was similar to that of that mysterious True Monarch. Now, I think I guessed right."

"Well? Fellow Daoist, do you have anything to say?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang immediately broke his silence.

Without any hesitation, Lü Yang's figure disappeared from the spot, showing no intention of continuing the conversation, which left Hong Tian stunned.

The next second, he sighed:

"Shouldn't a normal person be intimidated by my words and continue to communicate with me? Running so fast, it seems you really are a disciple of my Demonic Sect."

Before he finished speaking——

"Boom!"

Above the heavens, the [Earth on the Wall] shone brightly, and a powerful force descended, sealing off the entire universe and instantly blocking half of the overseas territory.

After a long time, this great power gradually dissipated.

Hongtian Zhenren looked regretful upon seeing this. He had already notified Zhenjun as quickly as possible, but the other party still managed to escape at the last moment.

It's obvious that they are very experienced.

However, just when he thought all his efforts had been in vain and was about to leave, a voice came from afar: "Fellow Daoist, now we can talk."

"Um!?"

This time it was Hongtian's turn to be surprised. He turned around and saw the "Immortal Court Envoy Who Pacifies the Seas" who had come to see Suolan earlier, with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face.

Marionettes!
This person was naturally left behind by Lü Yang before he escaped. As long as his own safety was guaranteed, he wouldn't mind talking to this lucky person from another time and space.

At the same time, he also figured out some of the details about this Hongtian.

'I never realized the difference between this Hongtian Daoist and Hongyun—they're both from the Heavenly Emperor!'

In the present world, good fortune is bestowed by Heaven, and luck is like a rainbow. However, in this "pseudo-history," there is no Daoist Master, and naturally, there is no Heaven.

In other words——

'Good fortune was actually hampered by fate!'

'Or rather, his talent and potential are truly exceptional, one in a million; he was a chosen one, otherwise he wouldn't have been selected by Heaven.'

"Therefore, theoretically speaking, even without the blessing of good fortune, Hongyun could have become a True Lord on his own. On the contrary, the blessing of Heaven, feeding him everything he could and lacking tempering, has spoiled him, making him far inferior to the current Hongtian!"
